Annabeth Gish To Return As Monica Reyes In Revived The X-Files

Annabeth Gish, who starred as Monica Reyes in the final two seasons of the original series ofThe X-Filesis set to return in the new six-part X-Files revival.

Gish appeared in 23 episodes in seasons eight and nine of the original show when David Duchovny as Fox Mulder had gone AWOL, Gillian Anderson was pretty much a part-timer and Robert Patrick was playing Agent Doggett.

There’s had been no news on whether Robert Patrick might be making a return too, though according to an interview he gave The Mary Sue recently, it seems unlikely: “I’ll set the record straight with youI’m not going to do it. …I’m very happy with the job I have. I’m on CBS – that’s a different network – and I’m content and happy and I don’t really see a reason to go and revisit that show. It’s not that I wouldn’t be interested… I just don’t know what the reason is do to both at the same time.”

The X-Files returns to US screens on 24 January 2016. No UK broadcaster has been announced as yet. But the truth is out there.
